nm-applet leaks 1.5GB of memory in 3 days

[Martijn vdS]

I'm running natty with the "normal" Gnome panel, and I've noticed that nm-applet keeps getting bigger and bigger. It does this while spamming ~/.xsession-errors every few seconds with the following messages:

(nm-applet:2169): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_image_get_storage_type: assertion `GTK_IS_IMAGE (image)' failed

(nm-applet:2169): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid (NULL) pointer instance

(nm-applet:2169): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_signal_connect_data: assertion `G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instance)' failed
